Last week my dad had an arrow fletch mess up on him and he missed one of the bigger 8's.
He showed back up with the scars and should make it just fine.
Looks like he broke off one of his brow tines days before dad shot at him on 9/22
looks like your dad was real close to putting him in the dirt. too bad that shot wasnt 2-3 inches higher or stand was 5-8 feet lower in the tree. Good luck with him.
Happened in 2007 for me. I shot low and got some white fur and a drop of blood. I was heartbroken that I wounded him! Dad saw him 2 days later running a doe and fighting off another buck. That was the best news I could have heard! I saw him in 2008, healthy as could be.
